We extend previous work on the eigenvalue problem for Hermitian octonionic matrices by discussing the case where the eigenvalues are not real, giving a complete treatment of the 2x2 case, and summarizing some prelimenary results for the 3x3…
We discuss the eigenvalue problem for 2x2 and 3x3 octonionic Hermitian matrices. In both cases, we give the general solution for real eigenvalues, and we show there are also solutions with non-real eigenvalues.
The eigenvalue problem for 3x3 octonionic Hermitian matrices contains some surprises, which we have reported elsewhere. In particular, the eigenvalues need not be real, there are 6 rather than 3 real eigenvalues, and the corresponding…
We discuss the eigenvalue problem for 3x3 octonionic Hermitian matrices which is relevant to the Jordan formulation of quantum mechanics. In contrast to the eigenvalue problems considered in our previous work, all eigenvalues are real and…
We show that any 3-component octonionic vector which is purely imaginary, but not quaternionic, is an eigenvector of a 6-parameter family of Hermitian octonionic matrices, with imaginary eigenvalue equal to the associator of its elements.
We previously showed that the real eigenvalues of 3x3 octonionic Hermitian matrices form two separate families, each containing 3 eigenvalues, and each leading to an orthonormal decomposition of the identity matrix, which would normally…
Conjugation covariants of matrices are applied to study the real algebraic variety consisting of complex Hermitian matrices with a bounded number of distinct eigenvalues. A minimal generating system of the vanishing ideal of degenerate…
We show that a non-Hermitian operator with a tridiagonal matrix representation in a finite-dimensional vector space is similar to an Hermitian operator. The required condition is sufficient and simple examples show that it is not necessary.…
A parametrization of 3x3 unitary matrices is presented. This mathematical approach is inspired on polarization algebra and is formulated through the identification of a set of three orthonormal three-dimensional Jones vectors representing…
In this paper, we answer the various forms of nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problems with prescribed diagonal entries for order three: real or complex general matrices, symmetric stochastic matrices, and real or complex doubly stochastic…
We review our recent results on pseudo-hermitian random matrix theory which were hitherto presented in various conferences and talks. (Detailed accounts of our work will appear soon in separate publications.) Following an introduction of…
Three ways of constructing a non-Hermitian matrix with possible all real eigenvalues are discussed. They are PT symmetry, pseudo-Hermiticity, and generalized PT symmetry. Parameter counting is provided for each class. All three classes of…
We study analogues of classical inequalities for the eigenvalues of sums of pseudo-Hermitian matrices.
We consider the class of non-Hermitian operators represented by infinite tridiagonal matrices, selfadjoint in an indefinite inner product space with one negative square. We approximate them with their finite truncations. Both infinite and…
The paper discusses progress in understanding statistical properties of complex eigenvalues (and corresponding eigenvectors) of weakly non-unitary and non-Hermitian random matrices. Ensembles of this type emerge in various physical…
This semi-expository paper surveys results concerning three classes of orthogonal polynomials: in one non-hermitian variable, in several isometric non-commuting variables, and in several hermitian non-commuting variables. The emphasis is on…
In this paper we have discussed different possible orthogonalities in matrices, namely orthogonal, quasi-orthogonal, semi-orthogonal and non-orthogonal matrices including completely positive matrices, while giving some of their…
For the bi-orthogonal polynomials with the third degree polynomial potential functions, the 3 x 3 matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem is explicitly constructed. The developed approach admits an extension to the bi-orthogonal polynomials with…
The statistical properties of trajectories of eigenvalues of Gaussian complex matrices whose Hermitian condition is progressively broken are investigated. It is shown how the ordering on the real axis of the real eigenvalues is reflected in…
We consider real non-symmetric matrices and their factorisation as a product of real symmetric matrices. The number of complex eigenvalues of the original matrix reveals restrictions on such factorisations as we shall prove.
